Winner-take-all is no way to elect the president ‌ ‌ ‌ View as web page - For easy sharing Here is part of what former Republican Governor of New Mexico and 2016 Libertarian presidential nominee Gary Johnson wrote about National Popular Vote in Colorado Politics: "Presidential elections are routinely decided in less than 12 battleground states. This is not what the Founding Fathers envisioned." "It is critical that all voters feel their voices will be heard.... We need to overcome the winner-take-all method that narrows the presidential election to just a handful of battleground states and excludes many voters." "It is staggering to consider that in the 2012 presidential election, 56,256,178 of the 128,954,498 votes cast were redirected to a candidate those voters opposed." "Now that [the National Popular Vote compact] is just 74 electoral votes away from going into effect, it is a critical time to give it a closer look. The compact does two fundamental things: It preserves and restores the original intent of the Electoral College and inoculates all voters from the harmful effects of the winner-take-all method...." "By restoring the integrity of our presidential election process, the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact makes all voters in all states relevant — securing a projection of their political will in the Electoral College. It will encourage much broader political participation." "The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact overcomes the winner-take-all problem, broadens discourse, and gives all voters a presence in our presidential election."
